Was not really a conscious decision, but keep in mind that:
1) JPA 2.1 is part of EE 7 which requires SE 7
2) Oracle Java SE 6 is past any support.
And see the discussion that took place on this list over a year ago
about O/RM and the Java 6 javac bug

Hi,
when trying to use
<dependency>
<groupId>org.hibernate.javax.persistence</groupId>
<artifactId>hibernate-jpa-2.1-api</artifactId>
<version>1.0.0.Draft-10</version>
</dependency>
in Hibernate Validator I get an UnsupportedClassVersionError.
Seems the API is compiled with JDK 7, which causes problems in the HV build.
Is the use of Java 7 intentional for the JPA API? I don't think it is required,
right?
